Background: A modified Blair's incision or standard facelift incision is recommended to remove tumors in the accessory parotid gland. These incisions frequently result in long and visible scars. Therefore, the authors have introduced an endoscopic approach via a small preauricular incision to achieve excision of benign tumors in the accessory parotid gland.
Methods: The endoscopic surgical technique was performed on 5 patients with benign tumors in the accessory parotid gland.
Results: Endoscopic-assisted resection of the benign tumors in the accessory parotid gland was feasible in all 5 patients. This procedure lasted 105 minutes on average. Facial paralysis, salivary fistula, and ear-lobular numbness were not found postoperatively. The follow-up period was 1 year, during which no Frey's syndrome and recurrence were found. All preauricular scars were aesthetically satisfactory.
Conclusions: The minimally invasive endoscopic approach via a small preauricular incision is an optional method of the accessory parotid gland benign tumor resection.

In this report, we discuss a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma in the accessory parotid gland of a 39-year- old male, which is generally a difficult tumor to manage because of the danger of facial scarring and nerve injury from external incisions. A minimally invasive trans-oral surgical technique was used, resulting in a successful resection without the usual complications, demonstrating a promising option that focuses on cosmetic and functional benefits. The importance of complete preoperative evaluations is emphasized, as is the possibility for broader applicability with additional study, establishing the technique's efficacy to improve outcomes for patients in similar circumstances.

Salivation is easily taken for granted, but without normal salivation, simple essential tasks such as chewing and swallowing become difficult, with consequences for quality of life, nutrition and oral health. Many important drug classes cause dry mouth as a side effect, contributing substantially to patient non-compliance. Available treatments are mostly palliative.

Morphological studies concerning salivary glands have emerged as an exciting tool to understand feeding habits. In this sense, this study aimed to describe capybara salivary glands morphology to understand potential morphological associations to this species feeding habits. Macroscopic dissections and microscopic analyses were performed on eight specimens.
